Attorney General Loretta Lynch testified Wednesday that the Justice Department has “discussed” taking civil legal action against the fossil fuel industry for “denying” the “threat of carbon emissions” when it comes to climate change.

During Lynch’s testimony at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said that he believes there are similarities between the tobacco industry denying scientific studies showing the dangers of using tobacco and companies within the fossil fuel industry denying studies allegedly showing the threat of carbon emissions.

He went on to point out that under President Bill Clinton, the Justice Department brought and won a civil case against the tobacco industry, while the Obama administration has “done nothing” so far with regard to the fossil fuel industry.…

CNN Warmist: ‘The question Trump can’t dodge in Florida’ – Global Warming! Warns rising seas could flood Trump properties

I plugged the addresses of a few luxury hotels bearing the Trump name into a handy tool developed to visualize the rise in sea levels that’s associated with global warming.

The Trump International Beach Resort, in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, will sit on a slender island of land at 6 feet of sea-level rise, which the federal government says is possible this century.

It looks like Trump Hollywood, meanwhile, will be submerged at that point.

Global Warming Satellite Data Gets Suspicious Makeover – ‘They decided to force good data to match bad data.’

As if to confirm the allegations of his critics, RSS’ Mears celebrated that skeptics could no longer point to his RSS data to say there has been no warming in 18 years or more. “There are people that like to claim there was no warming; they really can’t claim that anymore,” Mears was quoted as saying, falsely, in a deeply biased report by the Associated Press. Of course, Mears also omitted the fact that other data sets that have not been similarly manipulated continue to show the pause.…

Flawed Claim of New Study: ‘Extreme Tornado Outbreaks Have Become More Common’

Flawed Claim of New Study: ‘Extreme Tornado Outbreaks Have Become More Common’

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/03/07/flawed-claim-of-new-study-extreme-tornado-outbreaks-have-become-more-common

A new paper shows that the average number of tornadoes per outbreak has grown by more than 40% over the last half century. The likelihood of extreme outbreaks – those with many tornadoes – is also greater. This paper is flawed from the start, right from the raw data itself, read on to see why – Anthony […]

‘Reeks of confirmation bias’: All Temperature Adjustments Monotonically Increase – Cool the past and warm the present

All Temperature Adjustments Monotonically Increase

https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/all-temperature-adjustments-monotonically-increase/

Nothing about climate science reeks more of confirmation bias, than the changes scientists make to their own data sets over time. They all show exactly the same pattern of monotonically cooling the past and warming the present, regardless of the … Continue reading →

Climate numerology! Man-made CO2 caused heatwaves in 1930s,’40s, ’80s and ’90s

Climate numerology! Man-made CO2 caused heatwaves in 1930s,’40s, ’80s and ’90s

How convenient?! A new study shows that human influence on the climate started just before the major (and unerasable) heatwaves of the late 1930s, thus wrapping those awkward years under the banner of Man Made Climate. This study provides the handy peer reviewed link-bomb “answer” to that. The inexplicable heat of the 1930s and 40s has been a constant source of pain for Global Worriers. Skeptics can point out that the decadal rate of warming was pretty much the same back then, even though CO2 was at the ideal, clima-perfecto level, of 310ppm. How could it be that massive 400ppm of CO2 was barely able to break the heat records set when CO2 was almost 25% lower? Well, finally, mystery solved. A new Australian study compares models that don’t-explain-the-climate with CO2, to ones that-don’t-explain-the-climate without CO2. These models assume CO2 causes warming, so when they take out the CO2 factor that was added in to produce “the climate”, the models prove, ipso gloriousi, that CO2 causes warming. Indeed their method is so good, it can’t fail. As Anthony Watts says “it seems clear to me that the conclusion existed before the paper was written.” Quite.
